[Year 12 SofDev] Data dictionary - data formats

[Matheson, Heath A]

Heya All,

 

In the outcome 2 detailed example in the study design, “students will design a data dictionary that shows the required data items, a description of their purpose, their format, their size and their data type”.

 

What goes in the format field? Is it the data structure? Is it a range or acceptable values? 

 

I’m just not quite sure.

 

Have a safe and happy holidays, hope you get lots of eggs and easter buns!
